Neck Tech
Why do people feel the need to wear their technology around their necks? I thought that those lanyards that college kids kept their keys on were bad enough. Who would trust someone who couldn't keep track of their keys? Now people are putting everything on lanyards around their necks.
No, your flash drive is not a fashion accessory even though you can get them in colors to match your shoes. Any why in the world would a person wear a cell phone on a chain around their neck? I saw three people with those today. It is insane. The only exception to this rule that I'll make is that it is acceptable to wear an ipod on a lanyard but ONLY during the actually activity of exercising. Other than that keep your tech in your briefcase/ pocket/ bag/ or wherever, but not around your neck.
This may be the trend that finally sends Kenneth Blackwell over the edge.

I keep a USB storage unit on my key chain. Please inform me if that is a fashion faux pas. I will make amends.
My technological pet peeve of late is the damned wireless earphone thingy.
Key chains are fine Brad, as long as they too are not dangling from your neck.
It's an epidemic I tell ya! I just had a rant about the wireless earphone thingy
I don't see too much of that, but I do see everyone walking around with their little cell phones still clipped on their ears... they look so stupid!
Is it ok to wear my work card key/ID Card around my neck? And since I have that lanyard anyway, I may as well hang my thumb drive on it too. And a pen or two. And a Canadian flag pin. Honestly. I on occassion do all of the above. told you I was a geek.
The ear/phone things? I HATE those! I call people wearing them Borgs. To me it's just a way of trying to prove to people how important they are.
